Kairostasis 0 Posted August 18 Lately, I have been getting a "A threat TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG was found when Google Chrome tried to access --" message. [I have attached a screenshot]. So, this happens with quite a few sites, but when I actually browse them they seem innocuous. So, I was wondering what exactly is the TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG? Eset's database does not have enough information about it: https://www.virusradar.com/en/JS_TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG/description An example of a site which fires the message: hxxp://www.peachpit.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcos 2,944 Posted August 18 It's a javascript code that downloads payload from another website. An administrator has probably already cleaned the website from malware; at least I'm unable to reproduce the detection. Or I don't match conditions (e.g. country) for the malware to be injected into viewed web pages. 1 Kairostasis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kairostasis 0 Posted August 18 Yes, it seems to be dependent on the country. Eset blocks the threat only when I access the website from my original IP. So, is it safe to access such websites as long as Eset blocks the threat or would I risk infecting my PC? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcos 2,944 Posted August 18 You'd better avoid visiting such website. You never know if the malware will update and will be undetected then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
